for negotiating prices.

you to make a chocolate sponge cake, not a plain sponge as I previously mentioned. I'd like it to have a vanilla cream filling
and a dark chocolate topping. It's up to you what shape or design the cake has but it does need to be large enough for
50 people. It's for a 50th birthday party, so could you write " Happy Birthday Alan" on it?

Questions 98 through 100 refer to the following talk.
(A) As part of our new company efforts to encourage recycling and reduce waste. I am calling upon all of you to do
your best to cooperate with the new garbage separation rules. I know that it is going to feel like nuisance at first,
but if you stick with it, it'll become quite a routine procedure. Remember, each of the four different types of
garbage listed in the trash collection area goes in to a different receptacle. Papers go into the green box, cans
and bottles go in the blue box, soft recyclable plastics such as candy wrappers and food containers go in the yellow box,
and food waste should be put in the red box. If we can take home these habits even better but let's start by making
every effort in the office.
